Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a food processor or high-powered blender.
Add the roasted red peppers, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor to ensure even blending.
If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or spices to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Optional: Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or a few small pieces of roasted red pepper for presentation.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
